well that bottleneck actually has to do with a few things and it won’t be completely solved with RAM… what are the specs of your current system? some bios’s have limits on RAM amount too. what kind of RAM do you have in it currently? ---

that kinda hurts… Advanced 333 MHz front side bus but here is your answer for RAM 1 GB (2 x 512) requires replacement of the installed 256 Mb DIMMs you need two 512 sticks to get your gb of ram ---
